科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 三十秒科學–潛伏在另一器官的癌細胞

癌細胞從原處走到另一地方(轉移，Metastasis)，均需透過血液或淋巴系統作交通渠道。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWrNF3QXZw

有不少癌細胞轉移到另一器官後會呈「休養」狀態，不迅速繁殖，而是長期潛伏在另一器官內。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweBLOX0o9k
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6EASYgwB
因此就算沒能檢測得到循環腫瘤細胞的存在，也不百分百等於未來不會出現癌細胞轉移事件。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ejw1mZvT

(圖2)科學家分別把人類及老鼠的癌細胞注入到老鼠模型作研究，發現癌細胞發生轉移的機率是與目的地所含的NK cell數量有關係。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX59CFbagv

目的地所含的NK cell越多，該地方出現癌細胞轉移的機率亦會越低。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoLJF55x0I

之所以會出現這情況，除了是NK cell殺死癌細胞這可能性之外，科學家發現NK cell會釋放interferon-γ (IFN-γ)的物質，誘使癌細胞進入休養狀態，不進行自我繁殖。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqNiEv8cn

(圖3)奈何，至少在肝臟裡頭，一種名為Hepatic stellate cells會釋出CXCL12物質，CXCL12會阻礙NK cell的生長速度。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YcxG79Fqt

久而久之，便再也沒有足夠的NK cell抑制癌細胞的生長，而當潛伏在另一器官的癌細胞快速繁殖之時，這亦是轉移(Metastasis)被鑑定發生之時。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGtlhMhoXx

對此，研發藥物或療程確保NK cell長期處於足夠水平，或許是一道避免癌細胞發生轉移的大方向。624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWNhC05Yl
